equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
5. Battery tool use and care
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid
contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 265 °F may cause explosion.
g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only
be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for Miter Saws
a. Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be
used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars,
rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to
jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert
and other plastic parts.
b. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm (4″) from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too
small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close
to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
c. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence
and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in
any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds,
causing injury.
d. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the
workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push
the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause
the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
e. Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or
behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the
workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is
very dangerous.
f. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm (4″) from
either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason
while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your
hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

Safety Instructions for Miter Saws
g. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped,
clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain
that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of
the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on
the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
h. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps,
etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other
objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
i. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be
adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
j. Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface
before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw
becoming unstable.
k. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting,
make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and
will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the
tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a
complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of
cutting the fence.
l. Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a
workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or
wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-
off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
m. Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as
additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to
bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and
the helper into the spinning blade.
n. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the
spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material
such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will
reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for
all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued
sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the
miter saw.
r. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and
wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s. Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the
switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking
action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
t. Avoid overheating the saw blade tips.

Additional Safety Rules
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and
footwear will further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may
appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to
fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot
safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
· Lead from lead-based paints,
· Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
· Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Do not use the Bosch GCM18V-10SD miter saw to cut fiber cement board. Cutting materials containing crystalline silica may create exposures to respirable silica dust.
Before each use, review all warnings located on the miter saw.

Preparing for Saw Operations
Dry Run
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands out of the path of
saw blade.
It is important to know where the blade will intersect with the workpiece
during cutting operations. Always perform the simulated cutting sequence with
the battery pack disconnected and the power tool switched OFF to gain an
understanding of the projected path of the saw blade. Mentally note where the
path of the saw blade will fall and set up your work to keep your hands and
arms out of the path of the spinning blade. Adjust your clamps and fences so
that the smooth lower guard and cutting action are not interfered with during
cutting operation.
Lower Guard
The lower guard (Fig. 35, 26) may not automatically open under certain cutting
conditions; for example, when trying to cut workpieces that are near the
maximum cutting height capacity. Under these conditions or during the blade
travel motion of cut, the workpiece can stop the lower guard movement before
the downward motion of the arm could pre-open the lower guard.
If this occurs:
Workpiece must be securely clamped with clamp (Fig. 35 and Fig. 36, 42). This
frees a hand to raise the lower guard (26) by the lip just enough to clear the
workpiece.
Start the saw and begin your cut. Once you have cleared the position where the
lower guard may bind, release the guard and it will continue to operate
automatically as you cut.
Workpiece Support Clamps
There may be extreme compound cuts where a clamp cannot be used. Support
workpiece with your hand outside the “No Hands” zone. Do not try to cut short
pieces that cannot be clamped and cause your hand to be in the “No Hands”
zone. Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery
pack disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting
cycle, and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least
six (6) inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade. Using
the Workpiece Clamp This clamp (Fig. 36, 42) easily secures a workpiece to
the table or base.
Fig. 36
42
Workpiece
1. Insert the clamp’s knurled bar down into a clamp post hole (Fig. 37, 40).
There are two post holes located in the base behind the fence (Fig. 3). The
knurled end must be in the post at least 1/2″ (13mm).
2. Slide the clamp down until its rubber foot contacts the workpiece.
3. Adjust the clamp height so it does not touch the sliding fence.
4. Rotate the clamp’s knob until the workpiece is firmly held in place.
5. Move saw head up and down and forward and back to be sure it clears the
clamp.
-32-
Preparing for Saw Operations
Other Clamps Other hold-down devices such as C-clamps can be used to hold
the workpiece firmly against the table (Fig. 37, 22) and the fence (12). Make
sure the clamps are clear of the cutting path.
Sliding Fences
Fig. 37 12
Sliding Fence Lock Knob
22

To provide sufficient spacing (minimum 6″) from hand to saw blade, extend the
sliding fences (Fig. 37, 12) when making extreme bevel, miter, or compound
cuts.
Operating Sliding Fences
1. Loosen the sliding fence lock knob (Fig. 37) counterclockwise ½ turn to
loosen fence.
2. Slide fence (12) to the desired position.
3. Tighten the lock knob clockwise to lock sliding fence position.
Removing Sliding Fences
The sliding fence (Fig. 37, 12) may need to be removed when preforming extreme
bevel cuts and most compound cuts.
1. Loosen the sliding fence lock knob (Fig. 37) counterclockwise 6 rotations.
2. Lift and remove sliding fence (12).
Long Workpiece Support
Long workpieces have a tendency to tip over unless clamped down and properly
supported from underneath.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as
additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to
bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation, causing you to
contact the spinning blade.
Additional Workpiece Support
Always ensure that supporting surfaces are able to properly support the
workpiece and allow for secure holding by hand outside of the “No Hand Zone”,
or clamping with a clamp inside or outside of the “No Hand Zone.” (See “Body
and Hand Position” on page 30 for the “No Hand Zone” and the appropriate hand
positions.)
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade.
Blocks Long pieces need extra support. The base height (31/2″ / 89mm) is
designed to match the standard lumber of one 4x or two 2x. Boards of these
thicknesses can be used to create auxiliary support extensions for long
workpieces (Fig. 38).

Preparing for Saw Operations
Making an Auxiliary Fence
Check for interference between auxiliary fence and saw head components by
performing a dry run. Fence interference can prevent proper saw operation and
cause injury and/or tool damage.
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the saw OFF by
conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the projected path of the
saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches (152mm) away from the projected
path of the saw blade.
Certain types of molding need a fence face extension because of the size and
position of the workpiece. Holes are provided in the fence to attach an
auxiliary fence. Only use the auxiliary fence with the saw in the 0° bevel
position.
1. To create an auxiliary fence (Fig. 39), place a piece of wood against the
sliding fence (Fig. 37, 12). Wood can have a maximum height of 4-1/2″ (114mm).
Check that auxiliary fence assembly (Fig. 39) does not interfere with the saw
head assembly (Fig. 38, 28).
2. Mark the locations of the support holes on the wood from the back side of
the fence.
3. Drill and countersink the holes on the front of the support board.
4. To fasten from front of fence: Attach (each) auxiliary fence using two (2)
3/16″ (M5) flat head machine screws (Fig. 39). With 3/4″ (19mm) auxiliary
fence, use 1-1/2″ (38mm) long screws. Secure behind metal fence with washer
and machine nuts.
To fasten from back of fence: With 3/4″ (19mm) auxiliary fence, use 1/4″ (M6)
round head wood screws (3/4″/20mm long). Drill four pilot holes through
auxiliary fence and run screws from rear of metal fence.
5. Make a full depth cut to create the blade slot. Check for interference
between the auxiliary fence (Fig. 39) and
the lower blade guard (Fig. 38, 26). Make adjustments as necessary.
6. For best splinter-free cuts, use the chop cut method.
7. When making slide cuts, the center must be notched out per pattern (Fig.
40).

Saw Operations
Brake Operation
The brake action of this saw is not intended as a safety feature. Remember to
let the saw blade come to a complete stop before raising the blade from the
workpiece. As always, the guard system is your best protection against
unintentional contact with a spinning saw blade. NEVER wedge open or defeat
the closing action of the lower guard.
Know the charge state of your battery. The electric braking action is
initiated ONLY by the release of the trigger switch and in a tool that has
power available. When electrical power is lost due to a discharged battery or
other causes, the electric brake will not operate, and the motor will
gradually slow down. Unexpected run-down time may cause property damage and/or
personal injury.
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric brake which is designed to
stop the blade from spinning in about five (5) seconds after you release the
trigger switch. It is useful when making certain cuts in wood where a coasting
blade would result in a wide, imprecise cut.
Braking starts once the power is turned off.
The brake requires a charged battery to function. Stopping time will vary
depending on, among other factors, saw blade used, and number of actuations.
The electric brake of your miter saw has been designed for a high degree of
reliability, but unexpected circumstances such as contamination or failure of
the motor’s components can cause the brake to not activate. If the tool
operates but the brake does not consistently stop the blade in about 5
seconds, DO NOT use the miter saw and have it serviced by a Bosch Factory
Service Center or Bosch authorized service facility.
Using the Miter Lock Knob
1. Loosen the miter lock knob.
2. While holding the knob in your palm, push the miter detent button, rotate
table left or right to needed miter angle, and release the button.
3. Once at the correct angle, tighten the knob by rotating it clockwise.
NOTE: It is recommended to tighten the miter lock knob before all cuts. It is
required to tighten the knob before cutting at any angle between detent
engagements or when the miter detent override system is in use.

Miter Detent Override
The miter detent override button (Fig. 42, 21) allows the miter detent action
to be locked out, allowing for micro adjustments at any miter angle. When the
desired miter angle is too close to a standard mitering angle that has a
detent slot (18), this feature prevents the wedge on the miter detent system
from slipping into the detent slot on the miter detent plate (17).

Saw Operations
Chop Cuts
What’s a Chop Cut?
· A “chop cut” is a cross-cut made when the saw is held to the rearmost
position and is operated like a conventional (non-sliding) miter saw. Using
the chop cut method lowers the cross-cutting capacity. However, many users
prefer this method because it is quicker when making repeat cuts. This method
can also produce more accurate cuts because the saw head is locked in the
retracted position.
· This saw has bevel angle stops that accurately stop at critical angles: 45°
Left/Right and 0° Right. It comes factory-set and should not require
adjustment. However, after extensive use or if the tool has received a hard
impact, it may require an adjustment.
· A chop cut can cut pieces with a width of 4″ (102mm) or less.
Preparing for Chop Cut
Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation. Before switching
“ON”, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade.
1. With the saw head assembly (Fig. 43, 28) in the UP position, push it back
over the fence to the rear.
2. Turn the slide rail lock knob (Fig. 44, 7) clockwise to lock it.
3. Properly position your workpiece and clamp it firmly to the table (Fig.
44, 22), the fence (12), or both.
Making a Chop Cut
1. Activate the switch (Fig. 1, 3), then fully lower the saw head assembly
(Fig. 43, 28) to make the cut.
Fig. 43 28
2. Hold the saw head assembly down until the blade comes to a complete stop.
Return the the saw head assembly to the UP position. Remove workpiece.
-37-
Saw Operations
Slide Cuts
What’s a Slide Cut?
NEVER pull the saw toward you during a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on
top of the workpiece and force itself toward you.
· A “slide cut” is made with the head assembly (Fig. 44, 28) unlocked and able
to move away from the fence (12). This movement is supported and precisely
controlled by the slide system (35). The maximum crosscutting capacity is
utilized by using this method.
· A slide cut is best used for cross-cutting workpieces wider than can be done
with a chop cut pieces wider than 5-1/2″ (140mm) and up to a maximum width
of 14″ (356mm) across.
Preparing for Slide Cut
Fig. 44 1
2. Loosen the slide rail lock knob (7) by turning it counterclockwise (to the

3. With the head assembly (28) in the UP position, move it fully to the front
and back to check that the slide system (35) moves smoothly.
4. Properly position your workpiece and clamp it firmly to the table (22),
the fence (12), or both.
Making a Slide Cut
1. With the head assembly (Fig. 44, 28) in the UP position, grasp the main
handle (1) and move the head assembly fully to the front and away from the
fence (12).
2. Activate the switch (Fig. 1, 3), and then fully lower the saw head
assembly (Fig. 44, 28) (Fig. 45, actions 1 and 2). On larger pieces, this
action may also start the cut.

3. Push down and back so the saw head assembly moves toward the fence (Fig.
44, 12) and to the full rear position until you complete the cut (Fig. 45,
action 3).
NOTE: If high resistance is felt, do not apply excessive force stop cutting,
wait until blade stops and investigate problem.
4. Hold the saw head down until the blade comes to a complete stop. Return
the saw head to the UP position and remove the workpiece.

Saw Operations
Miter Cuts
What’s a Miter Cut?
· A “miter cut” is a cross-cut made with the blade perpendicular to the
horizontal table (Fig. 44, 22). The blade is not tilted and the bevel pointers
are both on the 0° lines.
· Miter cuts can be made at any angle across a workpiece within this saw’s
range, from 52° left to 60° right.
· The miter scale (19) shows the angle of the blade relative to the saw’s
fence (12). The miter pointer is attached to the table (22) and indicates the
saw’s miter position before the cut is made.
· Ten positive detents (18) are provided for fast and accurate preset miter
angles locations are at 45°, 31.6°, 22.5°, 15° left and right, and center at
0°. The right side has an additional detent of 60°.
· The crown molding detents on the left and right are at 31.6° for compound
cutting 38° “spring angle” crown molding lying flat on the table. See “Cutting
Crown Molding” on page 44.
· For precision settings at miter angles very close to the miter detents, use
the miter detent override to prevent the detent from automatically engaging
the detent slot. See “Miter Detent Override” on page 36.
· A miter cut can be made either as a chop cut or slide cut, depending on the
width of the workpiece.
Reading the Miter Scale
The miter scale (Fig. 44, 19 and Fig. 46) used on this saw includes several
scales of information to help the user accurately preset this saw before
making the cuts.
Crown molding information There are miter position settings for compound-
cutting crown molding flat on the table. Crown molding with 38° “spring angle”
uses the 31.6 setting (with detent) and crown molding with 45° “spring angle”
uses the 35.3 setting.
NOTE: This cutting method also requires that specific bevel angles are set.
See “Cutting Crown Molding” on page 44.

Bevel Cuts
What’s a Bevel Cut?
A “bevel cut” is a cross-cut made with the blade perpendicular to the fence
(Fig. 47, 12) and with the table (22) set at 0° miter. The blade can be tilted
to any angle within the saw’s range: 47° left and 47° right from the vertical.
The bevel scale is sized and positioned for easy reading (Fig. 48, 10 and Fig.
49). The bevel lock lever (Fig. 50, 34) is to lock and unlock the various
settings.

Compound Cuts
For compound cutting, adjust sliding fence (Fig. 51, 12) clear of blade path
and guard system.
Before sawing, always check that there is no interference between moving and
stationary parts of the saw. These miter and bevel combinations may result in
interference between the sliding and stationary parts of the saw or between
the sliding parts and the work piece.

What’s a Compound Cut?
· A “compound cut” is a single cross-cut made with the saw blade preset at two
angles combining a miter angle (relative to the vertical fence) with a bevel
angle (relative to the horizontal table).
· Miter angles will be with the table rotated away from 0° and within this
saw’s range from 52° left to 60° right.
· A bevel angle is when the blade is tilted away from 0°. This saw’s range is
from 47° left to 47° right.
· A compound cut can be made as a chop cut or a slide cut. (See “Chop Cuts” on
page 37 or “Slide Cuts” on page 38.)
Making a Compound Cut
Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation. Before switching
ON, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade.
Follow these instructions for making your compound cut:
1. Extend the fence (Fig. 51, 12).
2. Properly position workpiece. Make sure workpiece is clamped firmly against
the table (22) or the fence (12).
3. Set miter angles for miter cuts according to the instructions in “Miter
Cuts” on page 39, and set bevel angles for bevel cuts according to the
instructions in “Bevel Cuts” on page 40.
4. Follow the procedures “Chop Cuts” on page 37 or “Slide Cuts” on page 38.
5. Wait until saw blade comes to a complete stop before returning head
assembly (Fig. 47, 28) to the raised position and then remove workpiece.

Cutting Crown Molding
Crown molding cuts must be positioned properly to fit exactly.
There are two ways to cut crown molding: flat on table or angled to table and
fence.
See the “Miter and Bevel Settings for Standard Crown Molding Cuts (When
Workpiece Angled Against Fence)” table below for helpful hints on cutting
crown molding for corners that have 90° angles.
Crown molding’s “spring angle” is the angle between the back of the molding
and the bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.
This miter saw has special miter detents at 31.6° and bevel detents at 33.9°.
These detents allow you to easily position most crown molding flat on the
table and make precise cuts for 90° corners.
NOTE: These detents cannot be used with 45° crown molding. These detents are
only for use with crown molding that has a 38° “spring angle.”
Also see “Crown Molding Lying Flat on Table” on page 46 for miter and bevel
angles for cutting crown molding that has 38° and 45° spring angles. The table
“Miter and Bevel Settings
for Standard Crown Molding Cuts (When Workpiece Angled Against Fence)” below
lists the exact miter and bevel settings required for a wide range of corner
angles.
Even though these angles are standards, most rooms do not have angles of
exactly 90°; therefore, you will need to finetune your settings.
The optional Bosch GAM 220 MF and GAM 270 MFL Digital Anglefinder/Protractors
measure spring angles and corner angles, then automatically determine the
exact miter and bevel settings necessary to make each crown molding cut fit
perfectly.

Crown Molding Angled to Table and Fence
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade.
The preferred method for cutting crown molding with this saw is with the
molding lying flat on the table.
The advantage to cutting molding angled against fence (Fig. 53, 12) is that no
bevel setting is required. Only the miter angle is adjusted.
The maximum crown molding width that can be cut and angled to table and fence
is 6-1/2″ (165mm).
When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is recommended to purchase and
use the optional Crown Stop Set (Fig. 53).
Follow these instructions for cutting crown molding angled to table and fence.
1. Position the molding so the bottom edge (Fig. 53), the decorative part,
which is installed against the wall, is against the fence (12).
2. For 90° corner, set the miter angle using chart below. Tighten the miter
lock knob (20).
3. Support crown molding against the fence (12). (See “Body and Hand
Position” on page 30.)
4. Follow either the procedure “Chop Cuts” on page 37 or “Slide Cuts” on page
38.
5. Wait until saw blade comes to a complete stop before returning head
assembly (28) to the raised position and then remove workpiece.
NOTE: Always take a test cut using scrap to confirm correct angles.

· Wood Board (described below)
· 4 Flat Head Machine Screws 1/4″ diameter (M6); 2-1/2″ (65mm) long
· 4 1/4″ (M6) Flat Washers
· 4 Nuts
To make an auxiliary fence:
1. Cut a nominal 1″ x 2″ wood board to a length of 22-1/2″ (572mm) long.
NOTE: 1″ x 2″ nominal equals 3/4″ x 1-1/2″ (19x38mm) actual. 3/4″ (19mm)
plywood cut to size may be substituted.
2. Drill four holes through the board using a 5/16″ (8mm) diameter drill bit.
Countersink the holes deep enough so that the flat head screws will rest below
the front work surface use a 1/2″ (13mm) diameter drill bit (Fig. 58).
3. Remove the saw’s sliding fences. See “Sliding Fences” on page 33.
4. Place the flat head screws through the holes in the auxiliary fence, then
the holes in the stationary fence on the tool.
5. Place the washers and nuts over the screw threads and against the
stationary fence. Tighten nuts.
Small cut-off piece
Auxiliary fence
An auxiliary fence (Fig. 57) is used to add support to the cutoff workpiece such as large crown molding when cut flat on the table (Fig. 56, 22). It will reduce splintering and movement of the unsupported cut-off piece of wood after the cut is made.

Saw Operations
First-Time Use of the Auxiliary Fence
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the saw OFF by
conducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the projected path of the
saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches (152mm) away from the projected
path of the saw blade.
NOTE: The first time the auxiliary fence is used, it will be cut through by
the saw blade cutting through creates minimal clearance which reduces
splintering on the workpiece. Set the miter angle and the bevel angle required
before making the first cut.
Clamp the workpiece, then make cut. Example: compound cutting large crown
molding flat on the table (Fig. 54).
Auxiliary Fence Using an Auxiliary Fence when cutting crown molding flat on
the table will reduce splintering of your workpiece and movement of small cut-
off pieces. Before attaching the auxiliary fence, remove the saw’s sliding
fences. See “Sliding Fences” on page 33.
Build auxiliary fence by following pattern in Fig. 58 Material: 3/4″ x
1-1/2″ (19x38mm) wood.
Add 4 holes as dimensioned on pattern or add holes following the following
steps:
1. Cut wood to the outside dimensions shown and temporarily attach to saw’s
stationary fence (Fig. 54, 12) using two C-clamps.
2. Use 1/4″ (6mm) drill bit to drill first through existing holes in the rear
of the stationary fence (12) and then through the wood.
3. Remove wood, countersink the front of the wood and permanently attach to
saw’s fence (12) with hardware shown in Fig. 58.
Special Cuts
Use clamping position that does not interfere with operation. Before switching
on, lower head assembly to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
Be aware of the path of the saw blade. Make a dry run with the battery pack
disconnected and the saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated cutting cycle,
and observe the projected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw blade.
To provide sufficient (minimum 6″ [152mm]) spacing from hand to saw blade,
extend the sliding fence and base extensions when making extreme bevel, miter
or compound cuts.
Cutting bowed material and round material are only two examples of special
cuts.
Cutting Bowed Material
If workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward
the fence (Fig. 59, 12). Always make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table (22) along the line of cut. Bent or warped
workpieces can twist or rock and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade
while cutting.

Saw Operations
Cutting Round or Irregularly Shaped Material
For round material such as dowel rods or tubing, always use a clamp (Fig. 60,
42) or a fixture designed to clamp the workpiece firmly against the fence (12)
and table (22). Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the
blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. Fig. 60

Maintenance and Lubrication
To avoid accidents, always disconnect battery pack from tool before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Service
All tool service should be performed by a Bosch Factory Service Center or an
Authorized Bosch Service Station. Preventive maintenance performed by
unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and
components which could cause serious hazard.
Batteries
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. If you notice
decreased tool performance or significantly shorter running time between
charges then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger.
Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself
forcing the saw forward to cut instead of just guiding it through the cut,
chances are the blade is dull or coated with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade, unplug the saw and remove the
blade. Remember, blades are designed to cut, so handle carefully. Wipe the
blade with kerosene or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch. Unless you
are experienced in sharpening blades, we recommend you do not try.
Bearings
All bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No
further lubrication is required.
Cleaning
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are:
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents that contain ammonia.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign
matter. Use a brush to remove dust and debris from the vent openings and the
guard mechanisms. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through
openings.
Regularly check to make sure the lower guard and all moving parts are working
properly. Regularly check that the lower guard can move from the fully open to
fully closed position without interference. Ensure that the lower guard moves
to the fully closed position when the Main Handle is moved to the raised
position.
Tool Lubrication
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in
misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard.
We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Bosch factory Service
Center or Authorized Bosch Service Station.
Periodically lubricate moving parts with a silicone, or light oil spray. Do
not use grease because it tends to attract and hold sawdust.

Avertissements généraux relatifs à la sécurité pour les outils électriques
Lisez toutes les consignes de sécurité, instructions, illustrations et spécifications fournies avec cet outil électrique. Le non-respect de toutes les instructions figurant ci-après pourrait causer un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou des blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS POUR RÉFÉRENCE
FUTURE.
Le terme « outil électrique » dans les avertissements fait référence à votre
outil électrique à cordon d’alimentation électrique branché dans une prise
secteur ou à votre outil électrique à piles (sans fil).
1. Sécurité de la zone de travail
a. Gardez votre zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Des zones encombrées
ou sombres sont propices aux accidents.
b. N’utilisez pas des outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, par
exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui risquent de mettre feu aux
poussières ou émanations de fumée.
c. Gardez les enfants et les autres personnes présentes à une distance
suffisante lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique. Des distractions
risqueraient de vous faire perdre le contrôle.
2. Sécurité électrique
a. La fiche de l’outil électrique doit correspondre à la prise de courant. Ne
modifiez jamais une fiche de quelque façon que ce soit. N’utilisez pas
d’adaptateurs de fiches avec des outils électriques mis à la terre/à la masse.
L’emploi de fiches non modifiées et de prises de
courant correspondant naturellement aux fiches réduira le risque de choc
électrique.
b. Évitez tout contact de votre corps avec des surfaces mises à la terre ou à
la masse telles que des surfaces de tuyaux, de radiateurs, de cuisinières et
de réfrigérateurs. Il existe un risque accru de choc électrique si votre corps
est en contact avec la terre ou la masse.
c. N’exposez pas d’outils électriques à la pluie ou à un environnement humide.
La pénétration d’eau dans un outil électrique augmentera le risque de choc
électrique.
d. N’utilisez pas le cordon de façon abusive. N’utilisez pas le cordon pour
porter, tirer ou débrancher l’outil électrique. Tenez le cordon à distance de
toute source de chaleur, d’huile, de bords tranchants ou de pièces mobiles.
Des cordons endommagés ou entortillés augmentent le risque de choc électrique.
e. Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à l’extérieur, employez un cordon
de rallonge approprié pour un emploi à l’extérieur. L’utilisation d’un cordon
approprié pour une utilisation à l’extérieur réduit le risque de choc
électrique.
-57-
Avertissements généraux relatifs à la sécurité pour les outils électriques
f. Si l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit humide est
inévitable, utilisez une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur de fuite à
la terre. L’utilisation d’un tel circuit réduit le risque de choc électrique.
3. Sécurité personnelle
a. Faites preuve de vigilance et de bon sens, et observez attentivement ce que
vous faites lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique. N’utilisez pas un outil
électrique si vous êtes fatigué(e) ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou
de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention pendant que vous utilisez un
outil électrique pourrait causer une blessure grave.
b. Utilisez des équipements de protection individuelle. Portez toujours des
équipements de protection des yeux. Des équipements de protection tels qu’un
masque de protection contre la poussière, des chaussures de sécurité
antidérapantes, un casque ou un dispositif de protection de l’ouïe utilisés en
fonction des conditions réduiront le nombre des blessures.
c. Prévenez tout risque de mise en marche accidentelle. Assurez-vous que
l’interrupteur est dans la position d’arrêt (OFF) avant de connecter
l’appareil à une source d’alimentation et/ou à un bloc-piles, de le soulever
ou de le transporter. Le fait de transporter des outils électriques avec le
doigt sur l’interrupteur ou de mettre sous tension des outils électriques avec
l’interrupteur en position de marche invite les accidents.
d. Retirez toute clé de réglage pouvant être attachée à l’outil avant de
mettre l’outil électrique sous tension. Une clé laissée attachée à une pièce
en rotation de l’outil électrique pourrait causer une blessure.
e. Ne vous penchez pas excessivement au-dessus de l’outil. Veillez à toujours
garder un bon équilibre et un appui stable. Ceci permet de mieux contrôler
l’outil électrique dans des situations inattendues.
f. Portez des vêtements appropriés. Ne portez pas de bijoux ou de vêtements
amples. Gardez vos cheveux et vos vêtements à une distance suffisante des
pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs pourraient être
attrapés par des pièces mobiles.
g. Si des dispositifs sont fournis pour le raccordement d’accessoires
d’extraction et de collecte de la poussière, assurez-vous qu’ils sont
connectés et utilisés de façon appropriée. L’emploi correct des accessoires de
collecte de la poussière peut réduire les dangers associés à la poussière.
h. Ne laissez pas la familiarité résultant de l’utilisation fréquente des
outils vous inciter à devenir complaisant(e) et à ignorer les principes de
sécurité
relatifs aux outils. Une action négligente pourrait causer des blessures
graves en une fraction de seconde.
4. Utilisation et entretien de l’outil électrique
a. N’imposez pas de contraintes excessives à l’outil électrique. Utilisez
l’outil électrique approprié pour votre application. L’outil électrique
correct fera le travail plus efficacement et avec plus de sécurité à la
vitesse à laquelle il a été conçu pour fonctionner.
b. N’utilisez pas l’outil électrique si l’interrupteur de marche/arrêt ne
permet pas de le mettre sous tension/hors tension. Tout outil électrique qui
ne peut pas être contrôlé par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être
réparé.
c. Débranchez la fiche de la source d’alimentation électrique et/ou retirez le
bloc-piles de l’outil électrique (s’il est amovible) avant d’y apporter de
quelconques modifications, de changer d’accessoire ou de ranger l’outil
électrique. De telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent le risque de
déclenchement accidentel de l’outil électrique.
d. Rangez les outils électriques qui ne sont pas utilisés activement hors de
portée des enfants, et ne laissez aucune personne n’ayant pas lu ces
instructions et ne sachant pas comment utiliser un tel outil électrique se
servir de cet outil. Les outils électriques sont dangereux quand ils sont
entre les mains d’utilisateurs n’ayant pas reçu la formation nécessaire à leur
utilisation.
e. Entretenez de façon appropriée les outils électriques et les accessoires.
Assurez-vous que les pièces en mouvement sont bien alignées et qu’elles ne se
coincent pas, qu’il n’y a pas de pièces cassées ou qu’il n’existe aucune
situation pouvant affecter le fonctionnement de l’outil électrique. Si l’outil
électrique est endommagé, faites-le réparer avant de vous en servir à nouveau.
De nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils électriques mal entretenus.
f. Gardez les outils de coupe tranchants et propres. Des outils de coupe
entretenus de façon adéquate avec des bords de coupe tranchants sont moins
susceptibles de se coincer et sont plus faciles à contrôler.
g. Utilisez l’outil électrique, les accessoires, les embouts de l’outil, etc.
conformément à ces instructions, en tenant compte des conditions de travail et
de la tâche à accomplir. L’utilisation de l’outil électrique pour des
opérations différentes de celles pour lesquelles il est conçu pourrait causer
une situation dangereuse.
h. Gardez les poignées et les surfaces de préhension propres, sèches et
exemptes de toute trace d’huile ou de graisse. Les poignées et les surfaces de
préhension
-58-
Avertissements généraux relatifs à la sécurité pour les outils électriques
glissantes ne permettent pas une manipulation et un contrôle sûrs de l’outil
dans des situations inattendues.
5. Utilisation et entretien de l’outil électrique à pile
a. Ne rechargez l’outil qu’avec le chargeur indiqué par le fabricant. Un
chargeur qui est approprié pour un type de bloc-piles pourrait créer un risque
d’incendie quand il est utilisé avec un autre bloc-piles.
b. Utilisez votre outil exclusivement avec des blocspiles conçus
spécifiquement pour celui-ci. L’emploi de tout autre bloc-piles risquerait de
causer des blessures et un incendie.
c. Lorsque le bloc-piles n’est pas utilisé, gardez-le à une distance
suffisante des autres objets en métal, comme des trombones, pièces de monnaie,
clés, clous, vis ou autres petits objets en métal qui pourraient faire une
connexion entre une borne et une autre. Le court-circuitage des bornes d’une
pile pourrait causer des brûlures ou un incendie.
d. Dans des conditions d’utilisation abusives, du liquide pourrait être éjecté
de la pile, évitez tout contact avec celui-ci. En cas de contact accidentel,
lavez avec de l’eau. En cas de contact de liquide avec les yeux, consultez un
professionnel de santé. Tout liquide éjecté d’une pile peut causer de
l’irritation ou des brûlures.
e. N’utilisez pas un bloc-piles ou un outil qui est endommagé ou a été
modifié. Des piles endommagées ou modifiées peuvent se comporter de façon
imprévisible et causer un incendie ou une explosion, ou entraîner des
blessures.
f. N’exposez pas un bloc-piles ou un outil à un incendie ou à une température
excessive. L’exposition à un incendie ou à une température supérieure à 130° C
/ 265° F pourrait causer une explosion.
g. Suivez toutes les instructions relatives à la charge et ne chargez pas le
bloc-piles ou l’outil en dehors de la plage de température indiquée dans les
instructions. Une charge dans des conditions appropriées ou à des températures
en dehors de la plage spécifiée pourrait endommager les piles et augmenter le
risque d’incendie.
6. Service après-vente
a. Faites entretenir votre outil électrique par un réparateur compétent
n’utilisant que des pièces de rechange identiques. Ceci assurera le maintien
de la sécurité de l’outil électrique.
b. Ne tentez jamais de réparer des blocs-piles endommagés. La réparation de
blocs-piles ne doit être effectuée que par le fabricant ou un prestataire de
services agréé.
Consignes de sécurité pour les scies à onglet
a. Les scies à onglet sont conçues pour couper le bois ou des produits
similaires au bois; elles ne peuvent pas être utilisées avec des meules de
tronçonnage abrasives pour couper des matériaux ferreux tels que des barres,
des tiges, des goujons, etc. De la poussière abrasive causerait le blocage de
pièces mobiles telles que le dispositif de protection inférieur. Les
étincelles causées par la coupe de matériaux abrasifs brûleront le dispositif
de protection inférieur, la plaque amovible à entailler et d’autres pièces en
plastique.
b. Utilisez des brides de fixation pour supporter l’ouvrage dans la mesure du
possible. Si vous soutenez l’ouvrage à la main, vous devez toujours garder
votre main à au moins 10 cm / 4 po de chaque côté de la lame de la scie.
N’utilisez pas cette scie pour couper des pièces qui sont trop petites pour
être assujetties au moyen de brides de fixation ou tenues à la main en toute
sécurité. Si vous placez votre main trop près de la lame de la scie, vous
augmentez les risques de vous blesser en cas de contact avec la lame.
c. L’ouvrage doit être stationnaire et assujetti au moyen de brides de
fixation ou maintenu contre le guide et la table. Ne poussez pas l’ouvrage à
la main en direction de la lame et ne coupez pas « à main levée » de quelque
façon que ce soit. Des pièces non retenues ou en mouvement pourraient être
projetées à grande vitesse et causer des blessures.
d. Poussez la scie à travers l’ouvrage. Ne tirez pas la scie à travers
l’ouvrage. Pour faire une coupe, soulevez la tête de la scie et tirez-la pour
la faire sortir de l’ouvrage sans couper, faites démarrer le moteur, appuyez
sur la tête de la scie et poussez la scie à travers l’ouvrage. Le fait de
couper pendant la partie de l’opération consistant à tirer risque de faire
grimper la lame de la scie sur le dessus de l’ouvrage et de projeter
violemment l’ensemble de lame vers l’opérateur.
e. Ne croisez jamais votre main sur la ligne de coupe prévue, soit devant,
soit derrière la lame de la scie. Il est très dangereux de soutenir la pièce à
« mains croisées », c’est-à-dire de tenir l’ouvrage à droite de la lame de
scie avec votre main gauche ou vice-versa.

Consignes de sécurité pour les scies à onglet
f. Ne tendez pas la main pour atteindre l’arrière du guide à moins de 10 cm /
4 po de chaque côté de la lame de la scie, pour retirer des débris de bois ou
pour toute autre raison pendant que la lame tourne. La proximité de la lame de
scie en train de tourner et votre main n’est pas toujours évidente, et vous
pourriez subir une blessure grave.
g. Inspectez votre ouvrage avant de commencer à couper. Si l’ouvrage est tordu
ou courbé, assujettissezle de manière que la partie extérieure de la courbure
soit face au guide. Assurez-vous toujours qu’il n’y a pas d’espace entre
l’ouvrage, le guide et la table le long de la ligne de coupe. Les ouvrages
courbés ou tordus peuvent subir une torsion supplémentaire ou bouger, ce qui
risquerait d’avoir pour effet que la lame de la scie en train de tourner se
coince pendant la coupe. Il ne doit pas y avoir de clous ou de corps étrangers
dans l’ouvrage.
h. N’utilisez pas la scie jusqu’à ce que tous les outils, débris en bois,
etc., aient été retirés de la table de travail, et qu’il ne reste plus que
l’ouvrage. De petits déchets ou des morceaux de bois non sécurisés, ou
d’autres objets qui pourraient entrer en contact avec la lame en train de
tourner, risqueraient d’être projetés à grande vitesse.
i. Ne coupez qu’un ouvrage à la fois. Il n’est pas possible d’assujettir par
des brides de fixation ou de sécuriser par ailleurs de multiples ouvrages à la
fois de façon adéquate, et ils risqueraient de se coincer sur la lame ou de
changer de position pendant la coupe.
j. Vérifiez que la scie à onglet est montée ou placée sur une surface de
travail ferme et de niveau avant de commencer à utiliser la scie. Une surface
de travail ferme et de niveau réduit le risque de rendre la scie à onglet
instable.
k. Planifiez votre travail. Chaque fois que vous modifiez le réglage de
l’angle du biseau ou de l’onglet, assurez-vous que le guide réglable est
correctement réglé pour supporter l’ouvrage et qu’il n’interfère pas avec la
lame ou le système de protection. Sans mettre l’outil sous tension (« ON ») et
sans ouvrage à usiner sur la table, déplacez la lame de scie à travers une
coupe simulée complète pour vous assurer qu’il n’y aura pas d’interférence ou
de risque de couper le guide.
l. Prévoyez un support adéquat tel que des rallonges de table, des chevalets
de sciage, etc. si votre ouvrage est plus large ou plus long que le dessus de
la table. Les ouvrages plus longs ou plus larges que la table de la scie à
onglet risquent de basculer s’ils ne sont pas solidement supportés. Si
l’ouvrage ou la partie coupée de l’ouvrage bascule, ceci risque de soulever le
dispositif de protection de protection inférieur, ou l’ouvrage peut être
projeté par la lame en train de tourner.
m. Ne demandez pas à une autre personne de tenir l’ouvrage à la place d’une
rallonge de table ou d’un dispositif de support additionnel. Un support
instable pour l’ouvrage peut entraîner le coincement de la lame ou le
déplacement de l’ouvrage à usiner pendant l’opération de coupe, vous
entraînant ainsi que la personne qui vous aide vers la lame en rotation.
n. La partie coupée de l’ouvrage ne doit être coincée ou assujettie d’aucune
façon contre la lame de scie en train de tourner. Si elle est confinée, par
exemple en conséquence de l’utilisation de butées de longueur, la pièce coupée
pourrait être coincée contre la lame et projetée violemment.
o. Utilisez toujours une bride de fixation ou un dispositif conçu pour
supporter adéquatement des matériaux ronds tels que des tiges ou des tubes.
Les tiges ont tendance à rouler pendant la coupe, ce qui fait que la lame «
mord » l’ouvrage et l’attire ainsi que votre main dans la lame.
p. Attendez que la lame atteigne sa vitesse maximum avant de la mettre en
contact avec l’ouvrage. Ceci réduira le risque de projection de l’ouvrage.
q. Si l’ouvrage ou la lame se coince, éteignez la scie à onglet. Attendez que
toutes les pièces mobiles s’arrêtent et débranchez la fiche de la source
d’alimentation et/ ou retirez le bloc-piles. Puis efforcez-vous de dégager la
pièce coincée. Si vous continuez à scier alors que l’ouvrage est coincé, vous
risquez de perdre le contrôle de la scie à onglet ou de l’endommager.
r. Après avoir terminé la coupe, relâchez l’interrupteur, tenez fermement la
scie avec la tête en bas et attendez que la lame cesse de tourner avant de
retirer la partie de l’ouvrage qui a été découpée. Il est dangereux d’étendre
la main près d’une lame en train de tourner.
s. Tenez fermement la poignée lorsque vous effectuez une coupe incomplète ou
lorsque vous relâchez l’interrupteur avant que la tête de la scie ne soit en
position complètement abaissée. L’action de freinage de la scie peut entraîner
une chute brutale de la tête de la scie, ce qui risque de provoquer des
blessures.
t. Évitez de causer la surchauffe des pointes de la lame de la scie.

Consignes de sécurité additionnelles
Les disjoncteurs de fuite à la terre et les dispositifs de protection
personnelle comme les gants et les chaussures en caoutchouc d’électricien
renforceront votre sécurité personnelle.
N’utilisez pas d’outils conçus pour le courant alternatif uniquement avec une
alimentation en courant continu. Même si l’outil semble fonctionner, les
composants électriques de l’outil à courant alternatif sont susceptibles de
tomber en panne et de présenter un danger pour l’opérateur.
Gardez les poignées propres, sèches et exemptes de toute trace d’huile ou de
graisse. Des mains graisseuses ne permettent pas de contrôler un outil
électrique en toute sécurité.
Préparez un calendrier d’entretien périodique pour votre outil. Lors du
nettoyage d’un outil, veillez à ne pas démonter une partie quelconque de
l’outil étant donné que des fils internes pourraient être déplacés ou pincés
et que les ressorts du dispositif de protection pourraient être montés de
façon incorrecte. Certains produits de nettoyage tels que l’essence, le
tétrachlorure de carbone, l’ammoniac, etc. peuvent endommager les pièces en
plastique.
Des travaux de ponçage, de sciage, de meulage et de perçage réalisés avec un
outil électrique et d’autres travaux de construction peuvent produire des
poussières contenant des produits chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de
cancer, de malformation congénitale ou d’autres problèmes reproductifs. Ces
produits chimiques sont, par exemple :
· le plomb provenant de peinture au plomb,
· des cristaux de silice provenant des briques et du ciment, ainsi que
d’autres produits de maçonnerie, et
· de l’arsenic et du chrome provenant de bois de construction traité par des
produits chimiques.
Le niveau de risque causé par de telles expositions varie en fonction de la
fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour réduire l’exposition à ces produits
chimiques, il est utile de travailler dans un lieu bien ventilé et de porter
un équipement de sécurité approprié tel que certains masques à poussière
conçus spécialement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.
N’utilisez pas la scie à onglet Bosch GCM18V-10SD pour couper des panneaux de
fibrociment. La coupe de matériaux contenant de la silice cristalline peut
créer des expositions à de la poussière de silice respirable.
Lisez attentivement tous les avertissements figurant sur votre scie à onglet
avant de vous en servir à chaque fois.
Pendant leur fonctionnement, les outils électriques peuvent projeter des corps
étrangers dans les yeux de leur utilisateur et lui infliger de graves
blessures aux yeux. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité répondant à la
norme ANSI Z87.1 (tel qu’indiqué sur l’emballage) avant de commencer à
utiliser un outil électrique.
N’utilisez pas cette scie à onglet sans que les rallonges de la base aient été
correctement installées. L’absence d’un support d’ouvrage approprié peut
entraîner des blessures corporelles.
ZONES DE RISQUE DE CHOC EN RETOUR Évitez d’y placer les mains, les doigts ou les bras.
Do Not Carry the Saw by this handle. No lleve la sierra
por este mango. Ne transportez pas la scie par sa poignée.
ZONE DÉSIGNÉE D’INTERDICTION DE PRÉHENSION POUR LE TRANSPORT
Une zone dangereuse ne soulevez ou ne transportez jamais la scie par la
poignée de l’interrupteur
